Burden Change at National Level
1. Deaths
All-age CVD deaths more than doubled from 292 thousand (95% UI: 246 to 339 thousand) in 1990 and increased to 659 thousand (95% UI: 542 to 747 thousand) in 2019. Based on underlying diseases, stroke, and IHD they remained the leading causes of CVD death in Indonesia, comprising 331 thousand (95% UI: 282 to 367 thousand) and 245 thousand (95% UI: 207 to 276 thousand) deaths, respectively, in 2019. However, the most substantial changes were observed for PAD, atrial fibrillation or flutter, and aortic aneurysm, with nearly 3-fold differences in the period. Furthermore, over 30 years, all 12 CVD death causes steadily increased concerning mortality numbers and rates, except for RHD and CHD, with 49% and 44% changes in CVD deaths (Table 1). Age-standardized CVD mortality rates in Indonesia exhibited a gradual increase (11.7%) from 346.7/100,000 population (95% UI: 293.2–398.3) in 1990 to 387.2/100,000 people (95% UI: 321.1–431.9) in 2019.

2. Prevalence and Incidence
All-age CVD prevalence increased by 120%, from 6,968 thousand (95% UI: 5,919–8,174) in 1990 to 15,348 thousand (95% UI: 13,000–18,080) in 2019. Age-standardized prevalence rates (ASPR) increased by 6.1%, from 6,781/100,000 (95% UI: 5,749–7,978) in 1990 to 7,196.3/100,000 (95% UI: 6,089.6–8,495.3) in 2019. Based on sub-categories, stroke and PAD I had the highest prevalence rates, comprising 4,918 thousand (95% UI: 4,417–5,484) with an ASPR of 2,097/100,000 and 3,325 (95% UI: 2,850–3,803) with an ASPR of 1,640/100,000, respectively. This was followed by IHD, which had a prevalence rate of 3,066 thousand (95% UI: 2,621–3,621) with an ASPR of 1,495/100,000. All CVD sub-categories showed increased prevalence rates, except for congenital heart anomalies, with a 3% decrease in prevalence rates per 100,000 population. In terms of the highest changes, endocarditis was recorded at 16%, followed by non-rheumatic valvular heart disease (15%) and cardiomyopathy and myocarditis (13%) (Table 2).

3. DALYs
The number of DALYs increased by 86% between 1990 and 2019, while DALYs rates/100,000 population remained relatively stable with only a 0.7% decrease. With an age-standardized rate (ASR) of 4.021/100,000, stroke emerged as the leading cause of DALYs, while the DALY ASR for stroke remained unchanged (0%). The second largest contributor was IHD with a DALY ASR of 2,809/ 100,000. The rate of IHD DALYs increased by 10%. Other CVDs with higher DALY rates included PAD (19%), aortic aneurysm (237%), and atrial fibrillation and flutter (18%). The number of DALYs for CVD increased across all age groups except for RHD (Table 4)

Gender on Cardiovascular Disease Burden
Based on gender, we observed ASPR changes in men (6.5%) and women (5.7%). Stroke had a higher ASPR in women when compared with men (2,208 vs. 1,906/100,000). However, the ASPR for stroke showed higher changes in males when compared with females (8.5% vs. 3.4%). No significant differences in ASPR were recorded for PAD in men (12%) and women (12%). For IHD, ASPR was higher in males (2,000/100,000) when compared with females (1,050/100,000).
However, women and men experienced different changes in the last 30 years, accounting for 3.6% for women and 20.3% for men. Age-standardized CVD mortality rates in men outnumbered women across seven diseases, including stroke, IHD, congenital heart anomalies, cardiomyopathy and myocarditis, endocarditis, aortic aneurysm, and non-rheumatic valvular heart disease.
We observed significant differences in DALYs between genders, with almost all CVDs experiencing increased DALYs in males, except for three CVDs that experienced decreased DALYs in males, including RHD (-71.4%), congenital heart anomalies (-36.4%), and other cardiovascular and circulatory diseases (-19.5%). These data were inversely proportional to DALYs ASRs in females. Only three CVDs showed an increased DALYs ASR: atrial fibrillation and flutter (14%), aortic aneurysm (17%), and PAD (8%).
As shown (Fig. 2), CVD categories exhibited different proportions between males and females. RHD and PAD dominated females, with 57% and 54% age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDR) proportions, respectively. The most significant DALY proportions in males were for aortic aneurysm, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, and IHD, with 69.4%, 64%, and 61.4% ASDR proportions, respectively. The remaining diseases were slightly different or similar in terms of gender proportions.
Provincial-level burden
The highest age-standardized DALY rate for total CVD was observed in Bangka-Belitung, North Maluku, and South Kalimantan, all more than 10,000 per 100,000 population. During the given period, the ASDR of almost all provinces ranged between 6,000 and 10,000 per 100,000 population, except North Kalimantan, at 4,084 per 100,000 in 2019, representing the province with the lowest DALYs rate in Indonesia.

The most significant age-standardized DALY rates for total CVDs were recorded in Bangka-Belitung, North Maluku, and South Kalimantan, all equating to > 10,000/100,000 population. During the study period, the ASDR of almost all provinces ranged between 6,000 and 10,000/100,000 population, except North Kalimantan, which experienced 4,084/100,000 people, representing the lowest DALY rates in Indonesia. (Table 5). Following underlying CVDs, stroke, and IHD contributed the most to DALY rates in Indonesia. This domination was also evidenced in all provinces. The stroke had leading DALY rates in almost all provinces, ranging between 29% and 60% of the total CVD DALYs in each province. In contrast, in two provinces on the same island, Central and South Kalimantan, IHD DALYs rates outnumbered stroke DALYs rates by 29% and 6%, respectively. Finally, hypertensive heart disease also should be addressed due to its DALYs rate percentage, which ranges between 6% and 10%.
Between 1990 and 2019, changes in DALY rates varied by province. West Nusa Tenggara (16.8%), South Kalimantan (12.4%), and Central Java (8.1%) had the highest increases in age-standardized DALY rates. East Java and South Kalimantan provinces experienced the most significant rise in age-standardized DALYs rate, with Aortic Aneurysm showing a notable increase of 56.3% and 49.9%, respectively. In comparison, the most significant contributor to the increase in the age-standardized DALYs rate in the province of West Nusa Tenggara was stroke (48.7%)
The three provinces in Indonesia that experienced the highest reduction in the age-standardized DALYs rate for cardiovascular disease were Bali (-30.3%), Riau Islands (-25%), and Jambi (-21.6%). Rheumatic heart disease and congenital heart anomalies were the contributors to these reductions.
Peripheral artery disease was the primary CVD condition that experienced an increase in the age-standardized DALYs rate in every province in Indonesia, with the highest increases observed in Central Kalimantan (27%), East Kalimantan (24%) and East Java (23%). Other cardiovascular diseases that have experienced an increase in the age-standardized DALYs rate in almost every province were atrial fibrillation and flutter and aortic aneurysms.
We observed increased and decreased CVD rates across Indonesian provinces. The three provinces with the highest DALY ASR increases were West Nusa Tenggara (16.8%), South Kalimantan (12.4%), and Central Java (8.1%). East Java and South Kalimantan provinces observed the most notable increments in Age-Standardized DALYs RATE (ASR) linked explicitly to aortic aneurysms, with notable percentages of 56.3% and 49.9%, respectively. On the other hand, stroke (48.7%) emerged as the primary driver behind the notable rise in Age-Standardized DALYs Rate (ASR) in the West Nusa Tenggara province, compared to other factors. The three Indonesian provinces that experienced the highest reduction in DALYs ASR for CVD were Bali (-30.3%), Riau Islands (-25%), and Jambi (-21.6%). RHD and congenital heart anomalies significantly contributed to reduced DALYs ASR.
PAD has experienced increased age-standardized DALY rates in every Indonesian province. The three provinces recording the highest rates were Central Kalimantan (27%), East Kalimantan (24%), and East Java (23%). Other CVDs with increased age-standardized DALY rates in almost every province were atrial fibrillation and flutter and aortic aneurysms.
Comparing Indonesia to Other Southeast Asian
By benchmarking average and trend burdens in Indonesia, we divided the country’s provinces into four quadrants, measuring burden size and providing issue-solving remedies. Quadrants are shown. The lower left quadrant (low burden size with decreased trends) is the ideal quadrant where common burden conditions occur with decreasing trends. The concern lies with provinces in the upper right quadrant, where the burden remains high and is exacerbated by increasing burden trends (Fig. 5)
The shifting CVD burden has been attributed to multiple factors, including economic, behavioral, demographic, health workforce, and health infrastructure factors. In terms of economic factors, the economy has grown over the last 30 years and caused a shift in CVD burden from a lower poorer economy (RHD) to a CVD burden in workers with increased incomes (IHD)26,27. Regarding behavioral factors, high blood pressure and smoking are standard in Indonesia and are the primary causes of increased DALY rates. Other demographic factors have significant roles - as Indonesia's population ages. It increased NCD risks. Critically, these factors are separate from increased health capacity, resulting in increased NCD burden across provinces.
Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Disease
High systolic blood pressure was the top risk factor for both females and males in both 1990 and 2019, although the DALYs percentage changed slightly over the 30 years. For females, the high body-mass index saw the most significant contribution to DALYs between 1990 and 2019, with a 116% increase. This risk factor saw a massive 169% increase for males over the same period. Air pollution saw a decline in its contribution to DALYs for both genders, with a decrease of 39% for females and 28% for males. There is a dramatic escalation in the significance of high body-mass index. The surge of 116% for females and an even steeper rise of 169% for males is indicative of a growing concern related to obesity and its implications on heart health. This trend might be attributed to lifestyle changes, dietary habits, or societal norms over the past 30 years. Tobacco use as a cardiovascular risk factor displays notable differences between males and females over 30 years. In 1990, tobacco accounted for 13.6% of male DALYs and 4.5% of females. By 2019, the male contribution slightly rose to 13.9%, maintaining its third ranking, whereas for females, it remained relatively stable at 4.6% but dropped to the eighth rank. This data highlights the consistently higher cardiovascular impact of tobacco on males compared to females.
